The Keroman Submarine Base is a Nazi U-boat base located on the Keroman peninsula in Lorient, France.
It fell to the Canadian 3rd Infantry Division on 5 September 1944 without resistance, a few days after the Germans withdrew from the area. The Germans halted construction work at Mimoyecques as the Allies advanced up the coast following the Normandy landings. The guns would have been able to fire ten dart-like explosive projectiles a minute – 600 rounds every hour – into the British capital, which Winston Churchill later commented would have constituted “the most devastating attack of all”. The complex consists of a network of tunnels dug under a chalk hill, linked to five inclined shafts in which 25 V-3 guns would have been installed, all targeted on London. It was constructed by a mostly German workforce recruited from major engineering and mining concerns, augmented by prisoner-of-war slave labour. Originally codenamed Wiese (“Meadow”) or Bauvorhaben 711 (“Construction Project 711”), it is located in the commune of Landrethun-le-Nord in the Pas-de-Calais region of northern France, near the hamlet of Mimoyecques about 20 kilometres (12 mi) from Boulogne-sur-Mer. It was intended to house a battery of V-3 cannons aimed at London, 165 kilometres (103 mi) away. The Fortress of Mimoyecques is the modern name for a Second World War underground military complex built by the forces of Nazi Germany between 19. The resulting damage meant that La Coupole never came into active service, and by September 1994 it was captured by advancing Allied forces where it remained derelict until the mid-1990’S before being turned into a museum. Whilst the dome was unscathed, the external construction works were completely wrecked and the bunker suffered mass internal damage and was jeopardised from underneath. However, in June and July 1944 the RAF began attacking the site with 12,000 pounds (5,400 kg), ground-penetrating Tallboy bombs. The bunker sustained repeated bombing raids by Allied forces during a joint Anglo-American campaign called Operation Crossbow, which was an initiative to remove the threat of German long-range weapons programs.Ĭonventional bombing raids only achieved a single bomb hit on the dome itself, causing negligible damage. The whole complex is capped by a large concrete dome which the name “La Coupole” in English means “Dome”. The bunker was built between 1943-1944 and was a complex launch installation for the V-2 rockets targeting London and the south of England.īuilt into a disused chalk quarry, La Coupole consisted of a network of tunnels for storage, launch facilities, housing quarters and control facilities.
